So I’m on day two and feel great still having thoughts about the bad decisions I made while intoxicated but I know it’ll fade soon. Trying to be kinder to myself and focus on all the positives that came from such a negative experience. I know it’ll take time. So being patient with myself. Also joined my first AA meeting yesterday and will continue to do so to make sure I stay sober and get back to a better version of myself.

Hey Nikki 
Welcome and Congratulations on day 2
I hope you like your AA meeting. Just being in a room with other like minded people gives me hope.
I start everyday over here on the gratitude thread
Gratitude is my strongest tool in my sober tool box. After much daily gratitude work, writing my own and reading others on here I’ve actually retrained my brain. Most days I can’t wait to get on the gratitude thread and share my gratitude with others. Lights are always on. Come check us out if you’re interested. Got to bring your own coffee though.

Lots of reflection has been coming to mind like where it started and why it needs to end. Feeling much better and stronger about my sobriety it’s a relive to have a community who also understands and is so encouraging and engaging thanks to everyone who’s here and I’m wishes you all the best ! Keep pushing ! It doesn’t happen over night but sticking to it can and will change your life

Hi Nikki ! Congrats on day 3 I believe by now ! I find myself dwelling on the negative things I did while under the influence as well. It’s like it eats you alive because you actually care. I even get anxiety from it sometimes but I’ve been repeating to myself “ focus on what you can change not what you cannot “ and I just say it over and over when I think about what I have done. It doesn’t change much but it helps me try to navigate my thoughts. Maybe it can help you , if not regardless , here to talk to yah.
Have a great day !

Thank you it’s greatly appreciated and yes it’s getting easier while I’m able to identify that I have a problem that some don’t and I’m at least getting the help I need
